What are the responsibilities and job description for the Planning and Control Intern position at Zoox?
The Planner Frameworks team thinks about the Planner as an integrated whole. We own and maintain the shared top-level components utilized by all the other teams contributing to the system. We ensure the overall health of Planner in terms of performance measures like latency and stability. We ensure the codebase is modern, high quality, and testable. Finally, we add new capabilities to Planner with an emphasis on foundational pieces that are wider than any single team's area of ownership.

- Interest in robotics illustrated by dedicated course specialization and/or robotics extra curricular activities
- Proficiency with C
- Exposure to basic Python
- Bonus qualification: experience with performance tooling (e.g. Perfetto) or course work in low latency programing
